This recipe…It’s amazing. I made it last year a few times, but left the bacon out. Don’t leave the bacon out.
You can never go wrong with one of the Brown Eyed Baker’s Recipes. I made this for small group on Sunday night, and didn’t bring home any leftovers. I think it’s safe to say its a winner! Great for parties, game day, or hoarding it all for yourself and eating it with carrots…because that makes it healthy. 🙂
Jalapeño Popper Dip
Recipe from Brown Eyed Baker
16 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
8 pieces of bacon, cooked and chopped
6 jalapeños, minced (you can sub a 4-ounce can of diced, drained)

1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
For the topping:
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Combine the cream cheese, mayo, bacon, jalapeños, garlic, cumin and cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl. Spread the mixture into a 13 x 9 pan or casserole dish.
Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese and melted butter in a small bowl, tossing until the mixture is evenly coated. Sprinkle over the cream cheese mixture.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and the dip is bubbly. Serve with tortilla chips, crackers or veggies.
